Aha. Psim failed to link with an undefined symbol   
"_libintl_dgettext". The moral is to always search the log for *** and  
find the first error, not the last one. I expected it to stop at the  
first failure.

On looking for that symbol, I find this rather curious thing in  
libintl.h

#ifdef _INTL_REDIRECT_MACROS
# define dgettext libintl_dgettext
#endif

That space between the # and the define looks like a mistake to me.  
However, as you say:

I think I'll try that and see what happens...
